The Usual Suspects Movie Review

The movie: The Usual Suspects was filmed in 1995 with Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Benico Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Kevin Spacey, Chazz Palminteri, Pete Postlethwaite and many more. The plot surronds a major mystery that the detectives are trying to figure out. It opens with a boat being completely destroyed by explosion. The criminals who were organizing a drug trade are dead and the only survivor is a man played by Kevin Spacey. The entire plot is based on his story of what happened from the very beginning where they met at a random police lineup. It is extremely good, and won 2 Oscars.

It definitely reminds me of an old Philip Marlowe mystery or Oceans eleven or twelve! It is a really good mystery that is a classic!

What is really important?

What makes me extremely mad about the media is what they feel is extremely important! On the day that Paris Hilton was ruled to go to jail was also the day that Omar Khadr (a Canadian detainee of Guantanamo Bay) charges were dropped against him. On the Canadian news that night, Omar Khadr's trial was barely even covered however all of the time was spent on talking about Paris Hilton and her new problems, being sent to jail. How awful is this, they worry about Paris Hilton being sent when Omar Khadr has spent a couple number of years being tortured by the Americans because they thought that he was going to bomb America!! This is a major insult to Omar Khadr, seriously this is outrageous!!!

Bias

Bias: is a point of view about a subject that is not objective or neutral. The point of using bias in an article is so that it sways viewers to believe whatever the journalist wants them to believe. There has been a lot of bias in th media dealing with the Iraq war and celebrities.

Ipods

Apple's ipod is one of the greatest and most important things I own. It has all of my music on it, or files that i need and i think that people really don't care about ipods because the surge of popularity has passed. ipod sales are slowly starting to decrease as cheaper ifrauds become more available even though they don't work overly well.

Ipods were launched in October 2001, the original first ipod stored up to 10GB and cost $500 coming complete with a mechanical scroll wheel, the fourth ipod was released in July 2004 and could cost $450. Their were buttons on the click wheel, it had a display with colour.

The other day i saw the newest Ipod commercial and was really impressed! I have a 30gb ipod and i love it a lot, it is the best thing inthe world knowing that if i go anywhere that most of my songs that i have i can listen! Obviously Ipod's are newer inventions that brought the company of Apple back into the market as they hadn't been doing so well being opposed with Microsoft. The commercials are extremely different from the other commercials on television because it just is music and dancing as you may or may not already be aware of. The music that have been used in a couple commercials are:

*Hey Mama by the Black eyed peas

*Are you going to be my girl? by Jet

*Walkie Talkie Man by Steriogram

*Vertigo by U2

*Jerk it out by the Caesars

*Technologic by Daft Punk

*Feel Good Inc. by The Gorrillaz

*Love Train by Wolfmother

*The Audience is Listening Theme Song by Cut Chemist

*Flathead by The Fratellis

* and the newest song is Mi Swing Es Tropical by Quantic and Nickodemus

I honesly think that everybody who loves music should have an ipod because they are so good!

Dashboard Confessional!

Dashboard Confessional is an alternate rock band that was started by Chris Carabba, Their first cd was released in 2000, The Swiss Army Romance which was an acoustic and lyrics. "Screaming Infidelities" and "Living in your Letters" were the two songs were two of the best. Their second cd The Places You Have come To Fear the Most was released in 2001, then in 2003 A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar was released and the song "Hands Down" went up the billboards. In 2004 the song "Vindicated" for Spiderman 2 made Dashboard Confessional's audience grow. Their most recent cd, Dusk and Summer was released in 2006 and when released was at number two on the Billboards. Dusk and Summer has many songs, but some of the best are definitely The Secret's in the Telling, Stolen, Dusk and Summer, however all of the songs are really good. Dashboard Confessional's lyrics are extremely well written and very inspiring.

The Bottom Line: Dashboard Confessional is an awsome band, buy their cds today!

Alpha Dog

On Tuesday May 1, 2007 the movie Alpha Dog was released on Dvd, this movie is based on the true story of Jesse James Hollywood, also known as johnny True love (played by Emile Hirsh). Jesse James Hollywood is the youngest person to ever get on the FBI most wanted list. The movie is centered around the kidnapping of Zack Mazursky becauase his brother (played by Ben Foster) is behind on his drug payments. It is an awsome movie with a brillant cast:

The Bottome Line: An awsome movie! Go watch it now!

Montana's Cook House

I saw a few of the commercials for Montana's CookHouse and I am really disgusted by their adveritisng. The ones that really bug me are the commercials where there are a deer and a moosehead sitting on the walls talking about the menu... who wants to go eat in a restaraunt with deer and moose hanging off the walls staring at you while you eat food, perhaps it is their friend, Bessie the cow!

The Bottom Line: I doubt know I will ever consider going into any Montanna's restraunt!
